Automatically Add Jira Ticket IDs to AutoFix PR Titles

What is it?

Enable autofix PRs in Aikido to automatically include Jira ticket references in the title, with full Jira integration depending on your SCM.

Aikido’s autofix feature can insert Jira ticket IDs into PR titles using $TASK-REF, streamlining traceability between security fixes and issue tracking.

$TASK-REF can be used in PR titles, Branch Prefix and Commit Messages

Use cases

  • Improve visibility of security fixes in Jira by auto-linking PRs.

  • Ensure each autofix PR is associated with the correct Jira ticket.

  • Enable clickable references between PRs and Jira tickets across your SCM
